Router

Explanation:
VPNs are usually employed to allow remote access users to connect to and access the network, and offer
connectivity between two or more private networks or LANs. A VPN gateway (VPN router) is a connection
point that connects two LANs via a nonsecure network such as the Internet.
Incorrect Answers:
A: A packet filter firewall filters traffic based on basic identification items found in a network packet’s
header. These items include source and destination address, port numbers, and protocols used.
C: Switches are often used to create virtual LANs (VLANs), which are used to logically segment a network
without altering its physical topology.
